If you could eat one food every day  for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

Someone asked me this the other day and I found that I couldn’t narrow it down to just one. I have a few favorites of which include: french fries, chips and salsa, and potato chips (the food of champions, yes, I am well aware). But on the top of that list would have to also include pizza.  Good grief, why isn’t something like swiss chard or blackberries one of my choices? Well, the belly can not tell a lie and I have sworn my love to pizza…even if it is gluten-free.

Apparently bready, greasy, fried foods are the sure way to my heart. What can I say? I am a salty kind of broad. Now I am keeping my fingers crossed that there are more people out there reading this that are right alongside with me…
